Blacksand Pictures\u2019 Tastes of Africa<\/em> factual series will begin production in April of this year.<\/p>\n

Tastes of Africa<\/em>, a 3×15-minute series, will be available to Australian and New Zealand audiences on YouTube via distribution partner African Australian. Tastes of Africa<\/em> takes viewers across Melbourne\u2019s kitchens, community cook-ups and hidden eateries, guided by young African-Australians who are boldly reinterpreting traditional recipes.<\/p>\n

Hosted by Santilla Chingaipe, the series is produced by Blacksand\u2019s Kauthar Abdulalim and written and directed by Rendah Haj. Tastes of Africa<\/em> is a rich, sensory journey that celebrates food, memory and identity.<\/p>\n

\u201cTastes of Africa<\/em> reflects the kind of storytelling Blacksand Pictures is committed to: culturally grounded, audience-facing and globally resonant,\u201d said Abdulalim. \u201cThis series celebrates African-Australian communities with intimacy and joy, while creating space for stories that have long been underrepresented in Australia\u2019s factual landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the Kenya Film Commission, we are proud to support productions that showcase authentic African narratives to the world,\u201d said Timothy Owase, commissioner of the Kenya Film Commission. \u201cOur commitment is to build a strong, sustainable industry that creates opportunities for Kenyan creatives while positioning Kenya as a premier filming destination.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
